What the heck....it's May??

Where has the time gone?? I can't figure it out for the life of me! It seems like we were just celebrating New Year's and all of a sudden it's May.
Well I only have 7 days left of work and then I start my new adventure! I'm so excited!! Clay is really excited for me...but I'm not so sure that he is excited to be my guinea pig. Hahaha. It's so crazy to be doing this HUGE career change. I don't think it really seems real yet. It will feel real the first day I walk into school...haha. This is going to be completely different from what I ever thought I would be doing but I can't wait!! I'm sure there will be great beauty school stories.
There really hasn't been much else going on with us. We are planning a 4th of July trip to Colorado Springs...that will be awesome!!!

Just thought I would do a quick update.
Hope all is well with everyone!!

Days of Grace - Day 3

1. Fridays!
2. Friday night dates with the hubby
3. Warm weather
4. Making funny faces with my coworkers
5. A nice long weekend ahead....

Sunday...

So I'm really not one to push religion or anything like that. But the sermon Sunday at church - really made me feel good about my new adventure!! He talked about Living the Dream.

Living the Dream requires:
Faith
Facing your fears
Strength beyond yourself
A different perspective
A change of focus

"Don't be afraid; just believe." Mark 5:36

Maybe I'll help someone else find their dream!! Have a great week!

My New Adventure

Well it's official - I have enrolled in Esthetician School and I start May 20!! I'm so excited. I have been thinking about this and researching it for awhile now. It all started when I was trying to think of something that would be more flexible for our family in the future....it just came to me...I can't pinpoint what exactly made me think of it but the more I thought about it the more I loved the idea!! Needless to say everyone was a little surprised but everyone has been so supportive! My ultimate goal is to open my own salon/spa one day.
I'm sure I'll have great beauty school stories...and I can't wait!! It will be so fun!

When September rolls around I will be able to help you with all of your hair removal needs...oh and facials too!! YAY!

Days of Grace - Day 2

Days of Grace - Day 1

So I've been reading another blog pretty frequently and she always ...well maybe not always but a lot she posts a list of things she is grateful for that day. It has got me thinking ...what am I grateful for these days?? So here goes....

1. Wonderful family and friends that I can turn to in need
2. My fantastic husband - he's my rock
3. To be able to see my brothers daily - even though it is at work :)
4. Gmail chat - to keep in touch with Jenny!!
5. My job
6. Our great house
7. Our new church home

Okay... wow...I could probably go on...but I think that's a great start!! This might be something I'll keep up!

What are you grateful/thankful for today??
